Kentucky Health Insurance Assistance
The deadline for unemployed Kentucky residents to apply for health insurance assistance has been extended. Under the plan, the state will provide 65% premium subsidization to those who have been involuntarily terminated between 9/1/2008 and 12/31/2009, for up to 9 months.
Those individuals who are eligible for subsidized Kentucky health insurance premiums will be notified by the health insurance companies which provided coverage while they were employed.
The plan will be funded by the American Recovery and Investment Act.
Kentucky residents who previously declined coverage via COBRA or state continuation plan, will be given the opportunity to receive health insurance coverage through this plan.
